Dust, scratches, and fingerprints on either side of the disc can cause write errors during recording. When picking up or holding blank media you can either place your fingers along the outer edge of the disc, or place one finger through the center hole and one finger on the outer edge. Once you have finished creating a disc, label it by writing on the top using permanent ink. CAUTION: We recommend using a "non-toxic" marker, such as a Sharpie pen that conforms to the ASTM D-4236 standard. Some permanent markers will damage the media.
